Quick Update!

I'm not on my own laptop at the minute so I can't post any pictures or anything (OOTD or so)

I've been getting tests every week. Every weekend I feel deadly tired. And I just want to sleep. On top of that I caught a cold on Friday :( I've been sniffing, coughing and sneezing around the house. And sometimes my congested nose gives me a headache... I guess the an epidemic is going around.

But... I have a sudden urge to knit a sweater, or it's just the feeling of wanting to have a cute oversized sweater. If I start knitting a sweater, I'd most probably leave it and never finish it, knowing me.

Something like this, only not with all the holes ;)

Yesterday I've been reading a book for almost the whole day. The Hunger Games is the name. The book was so exciting! But I'm not satisfied with the ending and I want more! (2 books left $-$) I read it in Dutch but I really want to read it in English. Will be good for my language :3 But anyway, the book was AWESOME! (so awesome I couldn't stop reading and finished it in 1 day :))

My quickie update will end here... I have a biology test on Thursday, so to prepare myself well, I won't write anything on Wednesday, probably pre-written stuff... hopefully.? Or maybe something I've pre-written but still have to attach pictures to *wink* *wink* Stay tuned!

xoxo Don't catch a cold there!

Friday/Saturday Blabber

Yes, it's weekend time again~ Yeeah =) my time to relax again. Something I really need.

Today began a bit bad, I overslept for like 8 min. and I still had to take a shower and all the other things, total STRESS. In my rush I forgot to check my mobile phone and I didn't see my friend actually text messaged me, which caused me to wait for quite a while =( and it was -3 C... It wasn't really cold, especially because when I finally left it was quite late, so I figured I should bike in turbo-mode, which made me warm =)

Not to forget I had quite the terror because I had a Chemistry test today, but I forgot my book in my locker so I couldn't study, yesterday... Stress at school...

Boo, my day was so stressful. I can't stand stressful days >.< not my thing...

Tomorrow I'll post an OOTD, probably... and I want to do more internet finding things... I'm depressed because I haven't surfed on the internet that much lately, damn those tests every single week and that mountain of homework. Screw you!

On the other hand, I've been faithfully exercising every day =) I don't know if I actually lost weight because my digital scale ran out of batteries =-= but the funny thing I discovered was. My waist in the morning was 62 cm and at night after all the eating it's 67 cm O.O It could be just because I ate a bit more than normal on that day, but.. difference is quite big, for my feeling.

There's an epidemic flu going around right now and I think I'm catching a cold here! =( Hopefully I won't be sick, otherwise I'll miss tests which is something I don't want to do in my free time.

I really want to keep updating, and I must seem like an idiot xd because I get excited over the most stupid things (but usually get depressed right after the excitement) but yeah... I don't know if I should really set my blog as my first priority =-= *thinks hard* I sometimes feel like useless since I only have few visitors (which could be just because of me :') my writing style sucks or I don't promote myself that well) but when I don't post anything I feel like I "abandon" those few ones out there (even though they're not even regular visitors O.O I'm really an idiot :'))

Anyway, if my inspiration lets me I'll make more interesting posts, but I do kinda like just blabbering around talking about random things xd, that's just me. Writing is more easily for me than talking ;)

Don't catch a cold! And take good care of yourself ! ;)

The Body Shop Pure Detox mask Review

I know, I'm bad at reviews >.< but still I want to help you guys. So this time a review on The Body Shop Pure Detox Clarifying Clay Mask.

picture isn't from me ;)

It contains: Wasabi, algae and Dead-Sea mud. They promise to give your skin feeling fresh and looking radiant...

This mask isn't specifically for you face, you can also use it for you body. When you apply it your face feels warm, probably because of the wasabi :3. It doesn't smell bad but I won't say that I love the smell,,, it's just normal smell, not annoying or so.

Directions: Apply to wet skin. Smooth over body, mask warms on application, then rinse after 15 minutes. Maximise results by wrapping treated area in plastic body wrap. With moisturising Community Trade marula oil. If product gets in eyes rins with clean water. 

Apologies for my "stoned" face... must've been tired

Here I've cleansed my face and it's ready for mask appliance ;) See the damn pimples...? Yeah,, they suck

Applied it all over my face, as you can see I'm so super photogenic... *cough* *cough* also more apologies because I didn't feel like editing the pictures,, looks a bit too bright here >.<

And a clean face again...

Results...? My pimples aren't gone and I must say I still have lots of them left... maybe they're just too annoying. What I did feel was that my skin was pretty soft and fluffy. The first time I removed the mask my face was burning like hell! I didn't like it that much... but after a few times I kinda got used to it, now I see it as a kinda burning feeling, but it's not bad or so xd.

I always thought clay masks would dry up "hard" (you know, as if you can't move your face anymore) But this one doesn't! (good if you don't like that feeling) unfortunately for me, when it doesn't dry up that hard I feel like it doesn't purify and cleanse (pull out those ugly black heads) as good.

I did once use it for a spot treatment, and the next day my pimple had pus coming out... (ok this sounds gross!) I think it was kinda good, but I haven't tried it for a 2nd time so I'm not sure if the mask did that.

Be careful if you have sensitive skin! I did have a slightly red skin after removing the mask (maybe it was due to the "heat") I also saw in the ingredients that it contains Silicon (mask contains Dimethicone) so if you want to avoid silicons I advise you to avoid this. For me, it doesn't matter, because in this case it didn't break me out or anything so...

Overall, I think the mask is nice and especially in winter because it feels nice and warm. Afterwards your skin feels soft, but unfortunately it doesn't really help against those blemishes =( which is a bummer. But I won't buy this a second time because it's not as deep cleansing as I thought/hoped it would be.

xx

So I updated it a bit, since I'm getting more views now and the previous sucked very bad. Hope it has improved a bit >_<"

Healthy fruits~

Fruit is healthy~ yeah! They can do good things for your skin and some are just too delicious.

The healthiest fruit on the world is Guava. Unfortunately it's not easy to get so as an alternative you can eat Watermelon. But next to Watermelon and Guava, Kiwis and Papaya are also very healthy. Blueberries are full of antioxidants and dried Apricots are a source of fibre...

What fruits are really healthy for your skin and why?
Berries have many antioxidants which are really healthy for your skin. Your skin will looove it. (and you'll be as healthy as a fish...? Or do you have to say like a horse...?

I also found that you can eat Apples to improve your acne. But you've got to eat 3-4 apples a day to see something, they say. Maybe I should try this, ask my mum to buy lots of apples from a farmer and eat lots and lots of them, is also a lot healthier for me, and is good in my "losing weight" process.

Apricots are also really good to improve acne. High in minerals, fibre and beta-carotene.

Strawberries... Yum~ they say strawberries are a super anti-acne fruits. Unfortunately, here we don't have many strawberries, that are sweet and sooo nice and fluffy.

Bananas are also good for you skin, because they contain a sugar (I think..? I'm so reliable~) which eats on good bacteria and because it's "eating" all the good bacteria the bad bacteria won't overtake (the bad bacteria produce a toxic acid which can create acne)

There was also a fruit called Cantaloupes, but I've NEVER heard of it... They say it's ultra high in vitamin A and C and also have other minerals. They can be good against any skin problems.

took picture from Google~ so this is a cantaloupe...? Interesting xd

Two other fruits which are good against acne due to their antibiotic effect: Grapes and Figs

Do you guys, after reading this, also feel like eating lots and lots of fruit? I do~ yeah!

I'm not that smart to know this myself, of course... >.< I used Google as my resource and put it all together in 1 post so you guys can read it all~

Boo~ I've gotta get studying now, for German and Economics :( I have at least 1 test a week >.< Suckie... may not seem much, but you do have to study for tests you know...

Also I still want to make a whole new banner and so on... but I've been trying some things with Photoshop but it doesn't cooperate :( boo~ Hopefully when I have time I will work on a banner.

xxx Get healthy! Eat lots of fruit and improve your skin :) (You can also make your own masks :3)

A blurry photo, taken in a hurry... But me still wishes you a nice day~

I found a new workout routine!

So I'm trying to lose weight here, and I have found new inspiration.

She looks so skinny~ and elastic O.O *envious* I will try and do this workout every day! You other weight losing people gonna work on it with me? Yeah~! Hope this will tone up my legs a bit.. unfortunately I can't do the exercise in the kitchen xd (Lol) When I go down with my legs I hit the cupboards =-= whoopsie... Gotta find something else to get rid of the jiggly parts under my arms. Maybe triceps?

And you know I train my legs every week but wall sitting hurts like hell =-= boo, my legs are sore.

Hopefully I really have the time to do this workout everyday, otherwise I will make time if I'm really desperate to see results.

I'll keep you posted~!

xoxo

edit: Part 2 of her workout is up =D let's get sport y'all

If it wasn't clear for you guys yet,,, this isn't me,, of course this is the beautiful luvableviet

Saturday Haul

Another haul (so fast O.O), because I went shopping again   ~ me likey!


I'll start off with the stuff from a really cheap shop, doesn't really have a name, but has cheap stuff :3

Knee high socks. Unfortunately they're a bit tight around my legs... boo  I don't like my legs... €2.99 not that bad I think.

This is a kind off tool, which shaves your hair, but it can get really close to your skin and hairs...? OK, my description is weird but I don't know how to describe >.< cl2425 has a video in which this tool appears, if it'll make it more clear I recommend you watching it.

These depilating/shaving tools cost me €1.25 not very expensive I'd say, we'll see how it works :3

I also bought this really cute doll which I attached to my bag. It also promises this:

hope it's readable >.<

Some believe in these things, some don't. I do believe in some of these things, but I bought it mostly because it looks cute. This doll cost €1.50

Now something from Rituals:

A conditioner from Rituals! Yeah, I'm super excited to use this one. I had a sniff in the store and it smelled like heaven At first it cost €8.90 but I got it for €4.45 (50% off :)) They have really nice scented things and they had a huge sale. If the other items will be in sale one day, I'll definitely buy it! (and if it never gets in sale I'll still buy it, because it smells good) I'm not sure if it's sold outside the Netherlands, though...

Lastly I went to "De Tuinen" over there I bought this cream: 

I'm also super excited about this one. Hopefully it'll whiten my skin. It cost me €9.49 

I also saw a cleanser and another cream which also sounded pretty promising, but I didn't have enough money and well, you can't use everything all at once and I can always buy it later. "De Tuinen" only exists in the Netherlands, of course. But maybe Dr. Organic is sold in other countries. They also asked for my ZIP code and when I gave mine they gave me this sample:

Yay, for a Yes To Carrots Body Butter. Don't know when I'll try it, but I'll see >w<

Today was daddy's birthday, but I feel very sorry for him because me and my sister made him wait so many times. "You guys go to the Etos afterwards? I'll go to the ANWB now" (we were standing in that really cheap shop I bought those handy shaving/depilating tools and we stayed there for so long he actually came to look for us  and after that we'd also go to the Kruidvat and some other shops, and we ended up at De Tuinen, stayed there too long, thinking about what to choose xd and poor daddy had to wait at the supermarket... Awwh I feel so sorry for the poor guy.

Anyway, in the evening we went to a restaurant, and of course I ate too much >.< I'm so stuffed... I always eat too much at restaurants, but it gave me some new motivation to eat salads for lunch or so (healthy and low on calories)

Hoped you enjoyed it.

Update on my "resolutions" (:

You wanna know how "well" I'm sticking to my resolutions? A quickie update here!

Keeping up with the posting every day. Well, I think this one is actually quite good, I have been updating almost daily and the only thing is most of the time I don't have very interesting things I talk about~ boo, I feel bad if I buy many stuff which I can review or clothes to show off.

Going to bed on time, and get 8 hours of sleep. This one is quite a fail :( unfortunately, and I must say, I'm TIRED... I barely get 7 hours of sleep :/ really bad, because I haven't been drinking coffee as well :/ which could be really helpful.

Losing weight/fat. I must say, the first weeks I was really excited (as usual) and the last couple of weeks have been really bad. But maybe it's time for that again...? That's why I have an urge to eat all the time, even when I'm not hungry and even when I've already eaten way too much (I love Oreo's :3). Also, since a few weeks I've been trying MyFitnessPal app on my Itouch (thanks to SecretLifeOfABionerd, great tip) but since I eat so much, it's really depressing to count my calories and see I'm way over my limit =-=...

Exercise everyday. I'm quite content with this one :3 I've been keeping up pretty well.  20 min. on school days 1h in the weekend. I even run longer (sometimes) on school days :D yeah!

Apply sunscreen every day. Meeh, since I haven't really got a good sunscreen (only sunscreen meant for your body, but it's too oily and besides my skin's already very oily) I won't apply it, because it'll my skin out.

Sewing clothes/being crafty, I don't have time :( unless I have vacation I can't do many things besides feeling exhausted, doing homework and keeping up with all the posting.

Slack off... Big HMMM... This one is quite a failure... Instead of slacking off, I keep doing less homework O.O I KNOW, I have to improve... but not now. After this week I will improve

I'll really try to work on it! Gambatte, you guys will work together with me on your great, good resolutions? I thought by writing this it could motivate me again...? Let's hope (:

Today it snowed again :( luckily not for a very long time. One girl in my class was like: "Damn, damn, damn! It's snowing again!" and my Chemistry Teacher was like: "Well, duh! It's winter!" =-= such a "smartass" 

I'm probably going to go shopping tomorrow, I may find some nice things :3. Otherwise I'll do some window shopping :( but I'll bring my camera with me :)

I know it's bad to starve yourself, and I'm not encouraging you to do it, but I already know I'm going to eat so much stuff tomorrow (we're going out to eat at a restaurant :3) and I've already eaten so much today and the day before etc :( boo~ I'm bad... I don't dare to stand on my scale O.O

I'm cuddling up with a fleece blanket :3 I look tired like hell~
